Virginia-based crossover maniacs ENFORCED open their Century Media account with their blistering new album, Kill Grid. Informed by a diverse cross-section of extremes—from thrash/punk to death metal/hardcore—the emergent five-piece outfit have dropped a nine-song cluster-bomb of thrashing death on apathetic times. Self-described as ‘Pure Crossover Death’, the Richmonders quickly established themselves as new metal hopefuls with the release of their two demos (both 2017) and debut full-length At the Walls (2019). Tours with Sacred Reich, Integrity, and All Out War sealed ENFORCED’s reputation as a devastating live act. For Kill Grid, the group brought in Bob Quirk (Memory Loss) to engineer and Arthur Rizk (Power Trip) to mix/master. The result: an energetic, aggressive sound. Moored by thought-provoking lyrics, songs like ‘The Doctrine’, ‘UXO’, ‘Curtain Fire’, and ‘Trespasser’ are designed for head-bangers and circle-pit lunatics alike. ENFORCED are poised to dominate with ‘Kill Grid’. ‘Kill Grid’ is available as CD Jewelcase, black LP+CD and Digital Album.
